In your autobiography, be sure to include your reflection on the following questions. See rubric for break down of each section.
What were my first experiences with people of color (or with Whites)?
What does it mean to be to be a racial/cultural being?
What did I learn from my family about cultural diversity and differences?
What are my stereotypes and biases about individuals from other groups
